The average American boy
will spend $5 today celebrating
the birth of the nation, experts
estimate. Their paws, to hear
f.iem tell it, did a better job
on less money. For a week be
fore July 4, they hoed corn for
.30c to spend on the Great Day,
as they tell It, while forking
over a five-spot to Junior. What
happened? They spent a nickel
for pink lemonade, and saved
the balance for Christmas.
"This space belongs to Henry
Grace, who went off to Iowa
Park with the copy in his
pocket." Burkburnett, Texas,

gets "told off" by an irked edi
tor. ONE WOMAN'S OPINION
"It is evident that pressure
amounting to strong-arm meth
ods is thrusting us toward the
"glory road." Into the horrible
maelstrom we'll plunge unless
a miracle saves us, and out we
shall be spewed some day,
shamed, repentant, broke, see
ing all too clearly what we can
not see now that our hand
struck the death blow to democ
racy.
Under the guise of saving It
abroad, we shall again become
involved in the ageless, hopeless
conflict in Europe which has
see-sawed back and forth for
centuries. One hundred and
thirty million Americans will
deliberately walk into the
slaughterhouse, and what a
headache we'll have when the
orgy comes to an end as all
wars sometime must.
Then, once more, we shall
hear the preachers proclaiming
the pacifist creed, editors de
nouncing profiteers, politicians,
and war-mongers, while taxpay
ers with pockets rifled and sons
dead, will swear, as they did in
1919, to fight no more on for
eign soil.
The program never changes,
nor ever will. I suppose, so long
as our evangelistic spirit sur
vives. "Do you think," screams Dor
othy Thompson, "that the
United States of America can
stand aloof from the vicissitudes
of the world?"
Sure not! The vicissitudes, as
well as the hare-brained idiocies
of the world, we make our main
business. Our money went to
Europe in a stream to rebuild
cities that are now laid waste
again after 20 years. According
to Dr. Hans Zinsser, whose
book, As I Remember Him, is
Just off the press, Herbert Hoo
ver spent $50,000,000 in Russia
right after the Romanoffs fell.
to set up a health program
which the Leninites could hard
ly wait to stamp out after they
got rid of our Angels of Mercy.
Certainly the vicissitudes of
the world are our meat; one
only wonders whether we may
not one of these days bite off
more than we can chew."

New York City, July 2. Here's NEWS. After that hectie
week in Philadelphia, New York
rather provincial village!
Can't get away from Mr.
Philip, the son who looks like a
Princeton graduate. or did he
he didn t get his diploma because
his class (of 1940) voted him the
At any rate he is the youngest
appearing young man of his years
And there they were at the performance of "Life With
Father," looking exactly as they looked that first night at
the Academy of Musie, the Sunday before the convention
opened. Father smiling and exuberant, Mrs. W. pretty and de
mure, Philip, pale and glassy eyed, only papa really having a
good time. (Philip may succeed, but we venture to say not in
politics).
There was a great laugh when in the play Papa Day got off
that line: "God! Why did God make so many fools and Demo,
crats!" everyone looking at the new presidential candidate.
W. W. took it in his stride as usual, but the rest of the family
looked as though they would like to beat it.
En passant, one might observe that if the Republican ticket
is successful in November, we doubt if the White House ever
recovers from the 6hock of having "Eleanor" replaced by Mrs.
Wendell Willkie as its mistress, in all creation could there
reallv be two verv nice women more completely UNalikel
The Willkie family had a hard time getting, out of the
theatre, also getting in. There were the usual photographers
and reporters, and even more of these pestiferous autograph
fiends. Apparently the week-end osean voyage on Roy Howard's
yacht had put the candidate in better trim and humor than that
hot "morning after the night before" at the Warwick, for he
turned none of the autographers down, that we could see, reel
ing off his John Hancock with a smile and a flourish, to the
former's immense delight.
"Ain't he just swell!" we heard one of the gals remark as
she proudly displayed the signature to her companion.
He is. It s the familiar case
live the King!"
ve could not help but wonder how it MAY be four years
hence!
But sufficient unto the day is the triumph thereof and Mr.
Willkie is certainly having a triumph and enjoying it.

down at 20 Pine street, the Commonwealth and Southern offices,

didn't attend. Saw one of the
wasn t at Philadelphia, but like the boys down there, he was
most enthusiastic, "Don't think F.D.R. will be ao eager to
tangle with that bird," said he.
Our comment on that was to express serious doubt,
"Let that idea get abroad and F.D.R, will not only tangle
with him, but give him a terrific battle to the finish."
The weather continues perfect, more like October than
July. Comfortably warm in the sun, but at the bottom of one
of these skyscraper canyons, where the sun can't get in, an
overcoat is comfortable.
Had" luncheon at the Central park zoo, on the umbrella
dotted terrace in front of the seal pool. Very nice food, very
nice place, and a big crowd, .when feeding time for the seals
came around.
. These seals are extremely greedy and gregarious, how they
gobble up the fish, and sated, gather in intimate groups on the
sides of the pool in the sun and go to sleep. Two baby seals,
only three or four weeks old, attracted much attention and fa
vorable comment. they slept on their backs, a baby seal isn't
so much a baby as a miniature big seal, precisely like the par
ents in every way except in size.
Not so with most babies, they are all heads, or all feet, and
have to crawl befpre they walk. These baby seals swim as well
as the grown-ups, they don't swim so much as just flow
through the water.
Took the subway down to Broad Street to see a cousin and
get the latest dope on the war and the stock market. He may !
not always know the real low-down, but he always THINKS lie I
does, and it is a particular pleasure at such a critical time as j
tnis to talk with people who have no doubts regarding the 1
future, it's going to be this, and it ISN'T going to be that. !
Here is his idea condensed :
"Great Britain will not be crushed by Hitler, but will be
rescued by Soviet Russia from
abort time Germanv and Italy
at peace with both England and
timers real aim is not wesiwara out easiwara, not against i.uk
land, but Russia, and England, in spite of all its big talk, will
make pea?e with Germany on a favorable basis, agreeing to
back Der Fuehrer against Stalin, or if not that agreeing not
to OPPOSE Germany, as far as its penetration toward the
Ukraine and Constantinople is concerned."
Therefore, it's a good time to buy blue-chip stocks at prices
based upon the assumption Great Britain will collapse. (Note
to Mel Hogan: This is sent as a matter of general information,
obtained from sources believed to be accurate, but nothing
contained herein is to be interpreted as an offer for a solicita
tion to buy or sell securities!)
The above view is not sustained by the two local newspaper
men we have talked with, just special writers, not war cor
respondents. They are frankly DEFEATISTS, believe Ger
many will do to England precisely what she did to France in
not less than four weeks, and then and not until then will she
turn her attention to the "Bear that walks like a man." So
put up your money and take your choice! R, W. R.

TIME TO
Three out of four persons who
develop diabetes are overweight
at the time and have been over-
weight for ten j
years Defore j
the diabetes is
discovered.
If you are
toting around
twenty pounds
of slacker
flesh, thanks
to your bad
habit of In
dulging appe
tite after hun
ger has been
satisfied, don't
worry about it.
It doesn't mean you are bound
to develop diabetes In a little
while. If all of us who are too
fond of carbohydrates or even
half of us were doomed to de
velop diabetes, the monopoly on
the making and sale of insulin
would terminate pronto, for
even Uncle Sam would hardly
have the temerity to permit the
majority of adult citizens to b
so exploited by the owners of
a patent. A patent, believe it or
not, sanctioned and defended by
the politicians who have gained
control of the American Medical
Association notwithstanding Sec.
3, Art. 1, Chap. Ill of the Amer
ican Medical Associations own
written Code of Medical Ethics
which says "It is unprofessional
to receive remuneration from
patents for surgical instrument?
or medicines.
Whatever insidious accumula
tion of surplus or slacker flesh
after thirty may signify in re
spect to longevity and the in
surance companies find that it
is not favorable it is a de
plorable tendency In any one,
from any point of view, least of
all in its effect on good looks,
comfort and peace of mind
Gradual gain in weight in the
decade after thirty is particu
larly unfortunate if you know
of any instance of diabetes In
your family history.
Individuals growing stout in
their thirties should bear in
mind that only two generations
ago a good many cases of dia
betes escaped recognition be
cause people generally did not
consult a doctor until they were
unmistakably on the down
grade, and even then too often
the doctor made a good guess
as to the cause of the "run
down" condition, prescribed a
"tonic" and dismissed tne pa
tient without even a routine ur

one has no knowledge of a case i
of diabetes in the family U no I

abetM. So fr the inheritance I
of the djseafe OT tne t(.ndencv
is concerned, the best rule is to
play safe and assume that very
likely there has been some di
abetes in the family even if
there is no positive record of it
just as one should assume that
there has been cancer in the
family at one time or another,
whether cancer or a tendency
thereto is inherited or not. Can
cer is common enough to touch
every family sooner or later.
The time to reduce, regardless
of the question of diabetes, is
five to ten years before you
'have to go on a diet". It is a
great deal easier to keep ten per
cent excess fat off than it is to
get rid of it after you have piled
it on. So if you are acquiring a
corporation now is tho time to
revise your way of living. Com
paratively slight changes now
will prove more effective than
radical and hard restrictions
later on.
I suggest these three sane and
simple rules:
1. Satisfy hunger, but let ap
petite wait. 1
2. Large salad (greens, raw
vegetables, fruits) as first course
of every dinner.
3. No dessert, except ' fresh
iruu in season.
